Abstract
Bisphenol S is commonly utilized in the industry as a substitute for bisphenol A.However,numerous studies have indicated that bisphenol S also exhibits a wide range of toxicity.Bisphenol S has been found to cause adverse effects on the nervous system,endocrine system,reproductive system,etc.,with more extensive studies on the reproductive system.Specifically,bisphenol S exposure causes a decrease in sperm count,decreases motility and increases malformations,and decreases testosterone levels in males; on the other hand,bisphenol S exposure causes a significant reduction in ovarian volume and relative weight,affectes oocyte quality,decreases gonadotro- pins follicle-stimulating hormone,and luteinizing hormone in females.The mechanisms by which bisphenol S af- fects the body are complex and varied,involving oxidative stress,cell death,and epigenetic modifications.Nota- bly,the reproductive toxicity of bisphenol S varies in different studies.As a result,this paper reviews the reproduc- tive toxicity of bisphenol S and its underlying mechanisms.
